Went and checked out the Lemon Jam on Saturday, monthly afternoon music on the waterfront in our new home village, Lemon Tree passage.

It started with carols this time which were a bit average, then another very sweaty Santa turned up and gave out gifts to the children but after that it was really rather good. A couple of  pretty decent bands played and it was a very pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The adverts said there were markets too but we would have called the market a very small boot sale.

Then on Sunday we trotted in to Nelson Bay to a proper market, it was rather good but I still can't get used to everyone saying 'Happy Christmas' when I feel like I am on my summer holiday.
We then went to put in our prawn order for Christmas day and discovered we are too late so will have to get there at 6am Christmas Eve before they run out.
Back to waiting again today. I should get a email this morning telling me to go and get the bank cheque to complete on the house. Settlement is scheduled for 2pm Tuesday but I'm not                                                           holding my breath.
